A reeducation camp for gay teens? Seriously. In whose mind is that a good idea?
"Now, son, I realize that you are at what is for everyone a very difficult, confusing age. What you need is to be told that everything you feel is wrong. That'll make you into a happy, repressed adult. See you in eight weeks."
"Gee, thanks, Mom and Dad. This has in no way, shape, or form affected my self-image or sense of well-being."
I'm not gay, but even I can see how this is just a really, really bad idea.
On a side note, one of my oldest friends recently came out to me. He's joined up with a couple of support groups, and we just went to his first PRIDE festival.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of joining PFLAG for him.
